work and simple machines motion forces and energy definitions for vocab chapter 4

  • work
    work is done when a force exerted on a object on an object causes that to object to move some distance; equal to force times distance; measured in joules pg. 98

    rate at which work is done; equal to the work done divided by time it takes to do the work measured in watts pg. 101
  •  input force
    force exerted on a machine pg. 104
  • output force
    force exerted by a machine pg. 104
  • mechanical advantage
    number of times the input force is multiplied by a machine; equal to the output force divided by input force pg. 105
  • efficiency
    equals the output work divided by the input work expressed as a percentage pg. 107

temple of herobrine









The temple of Herobrine a large chest full of diamond blocks. There are some traps including lava, and a hallway full of dispensers with arrows it will bounce you back and forth for twenty blocks I used cheats turned it to survival got fire protection potion (fire resistance) went through the lava went to the end got to the chest it kept bouncing me back and forth with arrows until I died I lost some diamond blocks it was fast to make but can be pretty hard to get the diamonds with a mod I don’t know what it is called but it makes you a territory nobody but you can break or place blocks but you can still walk in it’s kind of like a server if you don’t register but if you protect it then nobody can break it you have to walk through lava and through stone pressure plates while arrows are flying at your feet it is dangerous but would you do it for diamond blocks I know I would. I wish I could have a link for the map but I don’t know how to do that please give good comments below thanks oh yeah and I built a slaughterhouse too I will post about that too I hope next week or this week well that’s all for now hope you like it i warn you do not spawn wither next to your work
